The plasma sword is in Halo 2. Well for mulitplayer at least. As for actual best weapons.......we don't know. The game is not out yet and we have no idea what all Bungie has in store for us.

That plasma sword actually is in Halo 2. It is a powerful melee weapon capable of killing in a couple hits. Also, it has a targeting reticle, paint someone with it until it turns red. Then, press R and you will dash forward and kill your target in one hit. There are lots of screen shots of it out there, look aroun for one.

I personally would like to see a weapon that cannot be absorbed by shields. Goes right to your health. It could also go thru a jackal's shield without being affected.

OK Since We Don't Know What Other Weapons There Are In HALO 2 Or The Fire Power They Have Why Not Try Something New................

The plasma sword can kill instantly from all angels. I hope that the Carbine and Battle Rifle aren't clones of each other. Hope there are some big differences.

It would be great if there was a big massive chain gun! Or a plasma nuke thing, like a Covenant equivalent of the rocket launcher.

The Carbine's differences are that the rounds it fires are like staples to your head. Also, the Carbine literally and figureratly eats itself up. The Carbine is very dangerous and should be avoided when you're on the other side of the gun. The Battle Rifle has a scope and it fires slower than the Assault Rifle from Halo 1. It packs a punch, though.

i think the most powerful weapon will be the plasma pistol... cuz it was in halo 1.

and i thought halo2 was going to have a perfect balance, like everymap is as good as BattleCreek, or something.

I hope that the Carbine and Battle Rifle aren't clones of each other

about as cloned of each other as the plasma rifle and the SMG...

I honestly think that plasma grenades should do more damage and have a larger blast radius. Their only claim to fame is that they stick... and how many times can you actually get one to stick against a skilled player? Fragnades get 85% of all grenade kills, or so it seems to me... plasma grenades need to be beefed up in order to match the fragnade in usefulness.

Plasma pistols only take out shields, man.

a fragmentation grenade has a detonation timer from when its thrown, so could explode in the air. that reduces the range of the grenade. The plasma grenade detonates 3secs after it stops moving or sticks to a target. to be honest, they both have weaknesses and strenghs. you could have a combined plasma-frag grenade. that would be sweet

The timer only begins when the fragnade comes to a rest, so they have the same range. Fragnades also bounce so they are much better at being throwen around corners and the such. Fragnades are a great deal better than plasmanades in my opinion. Plasmanades need to do more damage or have a larger blast area as I said above...

yeah, i do know what a plasma pistol does in one charged shot, thanks for the update wolfpac2005...

i also know the plasma pistol is not the most powerful weapon, though it is very underrated. i went to 1 halo tourney and everyone was complaining when we plaed BC because you start with a plasma pistol... they called it a pea shooter.

after the match they asked us how we killed them so quick with such weak weapons...

AND about plasma grenades- they kick ass against vehicles, and less against on foot peeps[unless you double melee, but thats wrong!]... so dont -blam!- about them, they kick ass! they just rquire more skill. and they kill OS as well.

Killing vehicles, 'tis their only true function. How often though do you get close enough to a vehicle to use them? Also, the vehicle would probably be moving so that adds even more to the difficulty. What does OS mean? Kill OS? On sight? If they require more skill that means they are more difficult to use, which means that fragnades are easier to use... which means they are... better.
